After seeing Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me) on The Daily Show, talking about his new series, 30 Days, I thought I’d check that out. The premise is that people volunteer to experience a walk of life very different from their own for 30 days. Last night I caught part of an episode in which a Christian from West Virginia goes to live with a family in a predominantly Muslim community in Michigan. As Spurlock remarked on The Daily Show, the series tries not to be sensational. I found this episode interesting, entertaining, and educational.
Next week, a conservative ex-Marine lives with a gay man in the Castro. Oh, boy. 30 Days (I had first typed “30 Gays” just then; Freudian slippage, don’t you know) airs Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. on FX.

Me again. Sorry . I think we should definitely set up a play date with our TiVos! We are also recording, 30 DAYS… needless to say, we are already a couple of episodes behind… but we’ll get to it… probably well before the FRONTLINEs.
Have you seen “I Want To Be A Hilton?” Sublime.
